Just took collection of these suckers after catching them in the surplus section in my size.
Brown domain leather
Nickle Oxide buckles
Vibram 700
9109 Bump Toe last
Double outsole stitching in khaki
Triple vamp stitching in brown
single midsole in brown
Except for brass buckles they're everything I would have custom selected.

Looks great lucky, these are seriously my favourite jeans in the whole world after just a week of wearing them, I don't think I could ever wear another fit after finding the one that suits me so perfectly and comfortably.
Although I always have this problem in my raws where I get feck all combs behind my left knee and crazy good ones behind my right…
I have chicken legs, when I'm standing up there is about an inch of extra space at least in the thigh, couldn't be more comfortable of a fit.
Terrible photo, couldn't borrow a decent camera… Or a mirror but these are my post soak devils.
dead: Take a look at the measurements in the first post of this thread and the current measurements on the shop website, should give you what you're looking for ( I hope ).
@CLJ:
Did you soak or machine wash them? Debating on hot soaking or a warm/hot wash (light cycle to agitate) for max shrinking out of the bag.
I put them in a tub of pretty hot water for an hour and a half ish, weighed down with plastic bags filled with hot water and they seemed to get the shrink out of them, that being noted I am a size 31 in 634s and went with 30 for these because the larger waist size in the newer batch let me try to sneak a size down for a super slim look :D.
Fit pics later today.
Hanging up to drip dry right now, this denim is something else…
Thanks Winchy!..
Were they different? I didn't notice anything major, that being said. Copped in 30 after realising the thigh was perfect, can't wait 
I think as long as the waist on the 31 will stretch to 32" or so I should be safe with those
It's shrunk down to about 10 and 1/4, I feel like another inch would probably be enough but it's hard to say.
I also just noticed they're on sale too so if I can make up my mind in the next few hours I'll be ordering now
So go a 31 and stretch them, or start looking at a different cut?
I know you guys get questions like this a lot, but I'm buying a pair of IH jeans next Monday (Payday) but the trouble is I haven't got a pair of good fitting jeans to go off.
My current pair are 1947 LVC 501s in the STF that were a size 31 waist pre-wash and they shrunk down to about 29 and stretched back to 31 with regular wear. They fit pretty great everywhere except the front rise and the waist, so I was thinking I would go up to a 32 in the 634s, bad idea or decent idea?
Cheers guys.
I love cxl for my casual boots….
CXL is my favourite leather of all time, the scratches and scuffs just add character to it.
At the moment I am struggling to decide if I want black CXL SDs or a nice brown cap toe.
Is that the gentleman traveller vs the beckman or whatever?
I think someone said one was chromexcel ( or something similar ) and they replaced it with featherstone leather for the beckmans.
Yeah, only paid $220 AUD for mine about a year and a half ago, replaced the first pair and got a second pair that are going strong, mostly wanted to sample the chromexcel before I invested in a pair of vibergs in the same leather. That being said they are still the most comfortable boots I've owned.
Total bullshit, get your money back or tell wolverine their shitty product failed and demand a good one (The replacements seem to be ok imo )
Really want to get a pair of these, mostly for when I am too lazy to deal with laces, can't find them on the red wing website though, anybody know what's up with that?
Topic is probably long dead, just thought I would say that for about 2 years I lived with someone and all my clothes wore out faster than normal and it was a mystery to everybody. Turns out the washing machine was doing it, the very second I stopped using that machine and moved back home my clothes started lasting properly again.
Fantastic thread.
Giles should be a spokes person for some sort of stress medication, how he manages to answer the same questions every week without coming off like a jerk is amazing.
Something in the water.
